Springboks players in run on side

SOUTH AFRICA - Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has selected all his available Springboks for his side's Super Rugby clash against the Sharks at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

"We do have a system in place where our returning Springboks are promoted to the starting line-up if they are fit," Drotske said on Wednesday.

"That is the reason for the inclusion of someone like Trevor Nyakane above Caylib Oosthuizen. The whole season there has been very little to choose from between Trevor and Caylib and both of them will most likely play about 40 minutes against the Sharks."

Returning to the franchiseare Nyakane, Adriaan Strauss, Coenie Oosthuizen, Lood de Jager, Teboho Mohoje, Johan Goosen, Cornal Hendricks and Willie le Roux were all named in the run-on side.
